No, "Angstrom" is the physical unit that equals 10^-10 m = 1/10 nm. It's
named after a Swedish physicist. It would translate to "Steam-stream"
("Ång-ström").

Oh, but the A with two dots above is really the same as the "ae" letter
in your surname! :-)

By the way, Firebird isn't very good with national characters in
identifiers. Quoted identifiers should support this! They don't. At
least not in all situations. I hope this will be fixed in future
versions. (SQL Server handles this excellently.)
